Casey Means Faces Scrutiny in Surgeon General Hearing

Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician turned wellness influencer, faces a remote Senate confirmation hearing to become surgeon general, more than five months after being named to replace Dr. Janette Nesheiwat. Critics cite her incomplete surgical training, inactive medical license, and controversial views on vaccines, birth control, and raw milk, while supporters include Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who praised her. Means has pledged to resign from her glucose-monitor company and divest supplement ties if confirmed. The hearing’s scheduling suggests White House confidence amid broad concern over her qualifications and conflicts.
